| The Association for
Volunteer Services is a non-profit, non-sectarian, non-governmental
organization, registered on October 18, 1999 under the number 738/m/99
through what was then the Directorate of Youth and Sports, a division of
the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports. (It is now the Ministry
of Youth and Sports.) AVS
serves as a national volunteer center – working with, and in support of,
its affiliated agencies (non-governmental organizations, social service
institutions, educational institutions, municipalities, government
ministries, and businesses committed to corporate volunteering). Its
objectives are: to promote, facilitate and improve volunteering and
community service throughout Lebanon, to empower individuals with the
realization that they can (and should) make a positive difference in their
society through volunteering, and to bridge social barriers through
encouraging the different sectors of society to work together for the good
of all. |
